Getting my first ever field Springer/dog from Prairie Rose gun dogs. Mom is due in a week and pups are ready by October. Both excited and scared. Hopefully im ready 🥹

[@WhitewaterGundogs]

Congrats, from Rick? A healthy mix of fear and excitement is normal, but temper that with full doses of love and attention, you have this!!

[@jaybird4610]

This awesome. I use coturnix Too .They can’t fly for crapp and my dogs chase and bust them up.

[@WhitewaterGundogs]

I've been using these birds since 2002. this strain was brought in from Afghanistan where they are a migratory bird. They fly pretty well if fed right. Anywhere from 40 yards to just plan leave the field. the breeder raise them for falcon food.

Do you have any springer pups for sale ?

[@WhitewaterGundogs]

Maddie goes in for confirmation ultra sound on Wednesday, will know then if we will have pups...expected DOB will be 2/10/25.

[@cartee72]

Do you think males have more drive or females?

[@WhitewaterGundogs]

In our experience sex of the dog makes little difference in drive, it is individual to the dog and their breeding.

[@cartee72]

Ok just curious Thank you
